The Soul of Goa lies in the home of a Goan, and in the music in her heart. By uniting the two, the Heritage Jazz Yatra has captured the Spirit of Goa by marrying these two most important facets of Goan life.
Over the recent years, the beautiful beaches of Goa have held sway in public imagination, and sometimes, the very essence of Goa, which lies in the myriad but simple and beautiful villages that dot the landscape, was partially forgotten. However, the quality of life that comes from the heart has always been the cornerstone of Goa and for what Goans stand for.
By getting live Jazz and fusion music to the Goan home, this very essence has been stirred, and the beautiful heritage homes of Goa have come alive to sounds of brilliance from internationally acclaimed artistes who just love to be part of the Goan heartbeat.
Goan heritage is rich in whichever way you would look at it, and it is not for nothing that many people from all over the world actually know that Goa is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It was as if God was mighty pleased with Himself at the time he bestowed such spirit, splendour and graciousness to a land which has become the favourite of many.
Eventually it comes down to the people, and it is these people of Goa who whip up the quiet energy that makes it what it is. Heritage Jazz hopes that through this simple but people centred concept, we can keep on uniting peoples, cultures and music from across the globe, and strengthening the Spirit of Goa, which has this overpowering influence over what is Goa.
Together, we are making it happen!
